Post Hoc

by Michael Davidson

Poetry. "Davidson may be the subtlest adept his wryly arresting command of the false-front patterns of what passes for reason is only outdistanced by his very un-Platonic refusal to deny the poem its always long overdue announcements. POST HOC is like an explosion in a logic factory. It's vivid, comic, and disarmingly true to its materials--the world and the words it composes"--Charles Bernstein.
